Our Process in a Nutshell
-
Book a consultation - a free 15 minute consultation helps you know if we are the right fit for you. Since healing occurs in relationships this time helps you get a sense of if we can get along. We also use this time to get a sense for your needs to be sure they match our expertise.
-
Complete an Intake form - our intake form provides us with more details about you that can help us understand you better.
-
Getting to know each other - the first few sessions (1-2) primarily helps us get to know you and your experiences in a more intimate fashion. As we get to know you we may ask questions about your past, your present, or your perception about the future. We may also get you to complete some assessments to shed some insight into your world.
-
Setting goals and a plan to get there - after we get to know you and the issue we generate a plan for therapy in collaboration with you. We set goals that will be worked on in and out of session to bring the desired change into your life as you are capable of it.
-
Doing the work - sessions after the feedback session provide the bulk of the work in therapy, this could include exploring current issues as they unfold, key issues from the past, while using evidence based interventions and gauging the effectiveness of our actions and correcting course if our goals shift along the way. We may also use assessments to determine progress as we work towards your goals
-
Ending well - our goal is to work ourselves out of a job. As we go through our sessions we will keep an eye on our goals and adjust our involvement accordingly. Our termination process allows for check ins to ensure that change is lasting.
